THE EVENING STAR has a regelnr permanent Family Circulation much more tham the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies.

There is ample scientific cpinion on rec- erd to contravene the statements made by Dr. Kober in his report to the health offi- cer about typhoid fever in the District which cast reflections on the purity of Fo- tomac rivep water. Dr. Kober strenuously opposes the proposition that the river wa- ter will purify itself, but his opinion is antagonized by certain eminent authori- ties, onc of whom in a recent address be- fore the Boston Society of Civil Engineers declared: “When a small quantity of sew- age is discharged into a large volume of pure or comparatively pure water, the pol- luting matters of the sewage ure oxydized and destroyed by the oxygen of the air which fs ordinarily contained in solution in the water Into which the sewage is dis- charged.” The Star had occasion only re- cently to cite this statement in opposition to a slur that was cast on the Potomac river water by a Buffalo technical journal and it then pointed out the fact that a flow of forty-five miles from the nearest community up stream was probably amply sufficient for the complete oxydization of such a small quantity of sewage as is per- mitted to flow into it from the compara- tively small number cf Inhabitants dwell- ing pn the Potomac above the capital. Doubtless a filtering bed would in addition to the natural excellence of the Potomac river water and the already existing means of sedimeniztion afferd a complete guar- antee. cgainst pollution of the water sup- uly, but in view of the large cost of such an installation and of the unavoidably long delay before it can be appropriated for and constructed it is a mistake to shake the confidence of the public in the river water by insisting upon filtration as an immediate and urgent necessity. Were the people of the District in a position financially to enter upon such a great im- provement regardless ofthe pressure of necessity it would doubtless be an excellent investment for the future when the in- crease of population in the up-river region may threaten seriously the health of the elty. For the present the public should use with reasonable confidence the Poto- mac water, keeping all the time a careful watch upon the conditions along its banks above the city, in order to guard against possible pellution. Dr. Kober's recommendation that the wells be all closed, in view of his impeach- ment of the purity of the Potomac river \eter,results at once in the creation of a serious dilcmma. The faithful personal ac- ceptance of Dr. Kober's views by all the people of the District would inevitably lead to a voluntary water famine. He acknowl- edges that at present the Potomac water stands unconvicted of absolute pollution, but by then impugning its purity in the absence of filtering basins he removes the strongest argument for a general closing of the wells, for the natural effect of cast- ing suspicion upon the greater source of supply will be to drive the people to the lesser, which in this instance comprises the wells and pumps.. For the present and tor several years the people must use either well water or Potomac water which has not passed through a filtering basin, both of which are now labeled “suspicious” if not “dangerous."’ The other recommenda- tions of the report, which display much study and elaborate investigation, are worthy of immediate consideration. There is no dispute as to the necessity of “the early completion and extension of all nec- essary sewers within the city limits, and the enforcement of the law to make sewer connections; the abandcrment of all box privies within the city limits and the en- actmert of more stringent laws for the pre- vention of soil pollution; the provision of such measvres as may be necessary to im- prove the sanitary conditions in the lower part of the city; and the enactment of a law requiring notification to the health offi- cer of all cases of infectious diseases in the District.” These suggestions are in the line of needed reform and are sanctioned by the public spirited residents of all sec- tions of the city. ——_ +e2- ——__ Holmes’ execution will terminate a career which has had few parallels in the annals of crime.

President Cleveland's annual message to Congress contains no surprises and no sen- Its principal contents have been - anticipated, and his chief recom- n, for the retirement of the green- @s a cure for the financial ills now be- some time usual cu niined his report to two subjects instead of touching upon many departmental matters. This makes a more ane document, but the searcher for s within its pages will doubtless b In the department of foreign est centers naturally upon the announcement concerning the nezucla question, ind it is gratifying to rtain that the note of the United States sent in July last to the British government was strong and positive in tone, that it stated clearly the traditional and estab- lished policy of this government in firm oppcsition to a forcible increase by any European power of its territorial pos- sessions on this continent, that it made a specific demand upon Great Britain for in mation concerning her policy with regard to the South American republic, and that it protested against a division of the boundary dispute. It is somewhat in the of a revelation to learn :.ow that Sec- Oln note was sent to London as s July, and this emphasizes the indif- or worse of Great Britain in the n for reply. The comparatively »h of the message devoted to indicates that the administra- acted with spirit and dignity, and th expectations of patriotic Americans will suffer no disap- pointment in consequence of this exposition of the administration's action. The case of the Cuban revolu treated in a conservative ma 50. early ferenc time ta brief par this que tion hi onists is ner, The \ President takes the high ground of absolute neutrality, and intimates that nothing can swerve the government from this attitude. Other items of the foreign relations are of passing interest. The Waller case seems to have been treated by the government with no special vigor. There is a lack, too, of decisiveness in the recommendations that retaliatory measures might be in- augurated against Germany for trade dis- criminations from which American products have suffered. It is not surprising that the President urges a settlement of the Bering Sea claims by arbitration, and it is gratify- ing to note that he has taken the Alaskan boundary into serious consideration by recommending the appointment of a joint commission. There is nothing new or im- portant in the chapter devoted to the Ar- menian situation. The discussion of our for- eign relations is disappointing in tone except as to the Venezuelan affair. The financial discussion contained in the report is full and élaborate. It shows that the President and Secretary Carlisle have consulted and are in perfect accord, and the whole situation is summed up in the Presi- dent's words, as follows: “I am convinced the only thorough and practieable remedy for our troubles is found in the retirement and cancelation of our United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, and the out- standing Treasury notes issued by the gov- ernment in payment of silver purchases under the act of 1800," The President's re- marks on the subject of finance are interest- ing, and it is not surprising that he rejects the proposition that the pressure on the treasury might be relieved by the provision of additional revenue. With characteristic phrases the President once more places him- self flatly on record against the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and his utterances on this subject form one of the strongest features of the message. —____+ + +__—___ A New Monroe Doctrine. The brevity of the President's remarks about Venezuela in bis message should not discourage the patriats who were pleased some time ago to learn that once in a while the administration could show a determined front to Great Britain. The little para- graph on this subject contains the Monroe Doctrine in a nut-shell..It is so pleasing to those who believe in Americanism that there would doubtless be wide-spread re- joicing if the President would soon again utter another declaration like that of last July. The people are ready for more of the same kind. If Secretary Olney can be per- suaded into a pursuance of his old line’ of action and Ambassador Bayard can be pre- vented from undue apologies for his wretched and misguided country the ad- ministration will be in a fair way to re- gain popularity with those who are glad and proud of their American nationality. —___ + «+ —__ Senator Hill will watch events from the seclusion of Old Point Comfort while he re- cuperates.

You're a good painter, my boy, but what you need is discretion. ‘The Logical Conclusion. “There are things,” sald the impecunious philosopher, “that it is useless for man to try to comprehend. For instance, who shall measure eternity?” “H'm'm,” replied his practical, patient friend; “I thought you had it down pretty fine." “Yes. On several promissory notes which you have made you mention ‘thirty days,’ which, I gather frem circumstances, is a synonym for eternity.” The Message.
